The Iron Whisk Bistro & Bar - Cobden (IL)

5 /5 C C: I dont miss much about my time in SoIL but gosh I miss this brunch spot. Well worth the wait for a table, just hang out at the thrift store next door. Dutch babies are to die for. The bloody Marys here have converted so many people, they smoke their own paprika which gives it an awesome flavor. I took so many out of town visitors here because it is actually a unique and quality place, which is quite lacking in the area generally.

5 /5 Sarah Bransley: Lovely little restaurant. With 2 people it was a 30-minute wait due to how few tables there were and how popular out is. Theres an outdoor bar with coverage so theres plenty of seating while waiting if its a nice day. Not much seating inside to wait. Theres a little antique store next door to pass the time while waiting or stopping by after. It was worth the wait as the food was delicious. Ordered a mint lemonade and whisky mint lemonade for drinks. Tasted truly fresh! For food, we ordered the blueberry lemon Dutch baby, homestyle Dutch baby with scrambled eggs, and a side of bacon. The bacon was a bit pricey but was good, thick bacon. All the food was scrumptious. Overall, recommend if youre in town and need something for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.

5 /5 Oof_Saturn: its hard to find words to really explain how good this place is... i had the biscuits and gravy and homestyle dutch baby this time, but the first time i had the biscuits and gravy and angus burger with an egg. It was even better the second time than the first. Its the best breakfast spot in the entire state, and even when theyre packed the wait is like 30 mins only. The food has the best flavor and texture. Everything is fresh. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming too. If I could rate this place 6 stars, I would... Id rate it 500 stars. Its definitely on the more expensive side, but its 100% worth the treat every now and then.
